548662 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 My Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches Cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) just gave birth again, and we might not have enough space in our house to house all the new nymphs. Do any of you want to adopt them as pets, not as feeders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

548662 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Where did you get your stock? Eh, it's kind of a long story. Basically, I went on a "spider walk" coordinated by a group of entomologists, and this one guy was impressed with me and invited me to visit his lab at SFU. He gave me a bunch of adults as a gift, and I guess I took pretty good care of them, because they keep breeding. The first time they did, April 1st 2015, the whole batch died because I'd never encountered nymphs before, but the July 9th, 2015 batch and the little guys from yesterday are doing fine.

Hisserdude Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Ah I see, the stock could be hybrids then. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
